UNETED ISRAEL FARBMAN,. OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA;

COAT.

Application filed March 6, 1926. Serial No. 92,872.

The object of my invention is to provide an improved construction of coat, in which the lining will be securely attached at its under-arm edge, from the arm-hole to the bottom edge of the coat, without attaching same to the under-arm seam, or by stitching that would be visible on the outside face of the garment; and to provide a simple means that will allow for possible stretching or shrinkage of the cloth and leaving the underarm seam exposed for such alterations as may be necessary without disturbing the lining.

A further object of my invention is to eliminate the tendency ot the coat to wrinkle when objects are carried in the pockets, or when tightly buttoned, as is common to coats lined in the usual manner.

The improvement claimed is hereinatter tully set forth.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is an inside view of a part of a coat front; Fig. 2, an outside view of the same; Fig. 3, a section taken on the line a a of Fig. 1; Fig. 4, a section taken on line Z) Z) of Fig. 1; and, Fig. 5, a section taken on the line 0 c of Fig. 1.

In the drawing, the two lines connected by cross-hatching represent the cloth body of the coat, and the lining is represented by a single line. In the practice of my invention, the body, 1, of the coat, is of the usual shape, having formed in it a T shape cut, represented by the lines 2 and 3. The portion, 3, of this out forms the pocket opening, and the part, 2, is provided for the purpose of shaping the coat, the opposing edges being stitched together to form an inside seam as indicated in Fig. 1.

The front edge, 5, otthe coat is turned in, or faced with the same material as the body of the coat to form the told, 11, as is shown in Figs. 4 and 5.

The lining, 10, is sewed to the upper edge of the body, 1, at the shoulder. 12, armhole, 4, and along the edge of the told, 11, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. The bottom edge of the lining is folded to triple thickness to form a pleat, 15, and is sewed along the line, 8, to the body of the coat, as shownin Figs. 1 and 3, and the inside edge of the lining is left unsecured to the body, from the arm-hole, 4, to the bottom line, 8.

A narrow strip of lining material, 6, the

substantial rectangular outline of which is indicated by the lines, 2, 9, 8, 14 and 4:, in Fig. 1, is sewed to the arm-hole, 4, and along the seam indicated by the line, 2, around the pocket opening, 8, and by stitches to the unexposed side of the coat body between the lines, 3 and 8, the other side edge of said strip being stitched to the unsecured edge of the lining, 10, forming a closure for the lining, as indicated by line 14:, in Fig. 1, thereby allowing the lining to expand and contract in the same manner as a bellows, without distorting the coat. The lining is, by this construction, securely attached at all its edges, being free, however, by reason of the bellows action, to adjust itself to such distortions as may be caused by shrinkage, irregular stitching, or objects being carried in the pockets. The pocket, 16, is interposed in the usual manner be tween the lining, 10, and the coat body, 1.

Among the advantages of my invention are the simplicity of construction, economy of material, and having the lining securely attached at all its edges to the body of the coat, leaving the ui'ider-arm seam in the body of the garment exposed for alterations. These and other advantages will be obvious to those skilled in the art.

I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

A coat comprising a body having an inturned told, a downwardly extending shaping cut formed in the body, the opposing edges ot the shaping out being stitched to gether, and a pocket opening being formed in the body, a strip or" material attached to the body of the coat along the down wardly extending shaping cut, around the pocket opening, and by stitches in the unexposed side of the body between the pocket opening and the bottom edge of the coat, a

lining secured along the inturned told, and thebottom edge of the coat, the other side edge 01 the lining, and the side edge of the strip being sewed together to term a closure, said edge of the lining being free of the body along its entire edge from the arm-hole to the bottom edge of the coat.
